EACC’s “Welcome to Deutschtown” gateway sign goes “Green” thanks to a grant from the PA Department of Economic Development Elm Street Program and Duquesne Light. The location of the sign posed many logistical challenges in terms of powering the sign; Underwood Solar Technologies, located on the Northside, was able to provide an alternative solution via 3 solar operated panels.
